Biting

So Wyatt has taken up biting. It is happening mainly at bed time, which is making it even harder on him. Those teeth are sharp and it hurts!! He has 2 on bottom and the top 2 are getting close to cutting thru.

I have unlatched him and put him in the floor while saying "no hurt mama" but he is still doing it. Last night after the third time I put him in his crib and he just threw a fit. A couple minutes later I went and calmed him down. After that he nursed to sleep with no issues.

Re: Biting

My son does this a lot when he's teething. I agree with offering something cold before nursing. We do bathtime before bedtime, and I'll usually bring a teething ring up for him to chew on in the tub if he's cutting a tooth. This way the pain is reduced for that time period between bath and sleeptime. Also, I like to give a little motrin if he's experiencing pain from teething. It helps him sleep better at night during that time.
